It depends on how much play you have,but they is a little play in the axle,inside you have a center pin and depending on what axle you have it is either c-clipped inside or held on buy 4 bolts at the end of the axle tube,a 1/4" is ok.
If you are not hearing any unusal noises I would not be to concerned.
